Arc excitation is a phenomenon that can occur in power transmission lines when there is overvoltage in areas where insulation has been reduced or when there is a lot of pollution. Although rare, direct lightning can also cause the arc to be excited. It is important to highlight that, to prevent this type of occurrence, the transmission lines have lightning protection devices, the so-called “lightning rods”.

SAE Towers offers a complete line of hardware for lightning cable suspension and anchoring arrangements, including bases, clamps, connectors and brackets. These components allow the lightning protection device to be attached to the transmission line towers, providing customized solutions for the specific needs of each customer. All our products are designed and manufactured in accordance with international technical and safety standards, undergoing rigorous quality tests to ensure proper electrical connection of the conventional lightning rod with the transmission line tower.
